renatagrieco:March 18, 2020 - Blue-crowned Manakin (Lepidothrix coronata)These manakins are found in parts of Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Panama, Peru, and Venezuela. They mostly eat small fruits, along with some insects, picking food items from twigs and leaves while hovering and often joining mixed-species foraging flocks. Males display at widely spaced leks to attract females. Females build open cup-shaped nests and care for the chicks alone. -- source link
